and preiudieed. Their policy appears to

and prejudiced. Their policy appears to
be wholly selfish and bitterly antagonistic
to the State Fair. They are evidently
determined to run counter to the conven-
fence of the people and the best interests
Of the State, for the very lust of hostility.
The year is long enough for the two fairs
to be fixed upon dates widely apart. 1t is
for the best interests of the State Society
and the Institute that the two should not
conflict, and they never have except it was
brought about by the action of the 1nsti-
tute Fair managers. The people oaght to
rebuke these pledge-breakers in manner
that will make lasting impression upon
them. The Directors of the State Agri-
cultural Society have been too patient and
forbearing in this matter; let them now
appeal to the people of the interior to put
the seal of condemnation upon the Insti-
tute management by expressions and actions
that cannot be ignored. The State Fair of
1887 should be made so brilliantly sue
cessful, should be SO complete an exhibit
ton of the resources and products and in
dustries of the State, as in itself to consti-
tute a scathing rebuke to those who are
plotting to break it. How the men who
pledged their words to the committee OF
the Board of Trade last year that there
should this year be no conflict of dates,
will answer to the latter body when it
calls them to account, we cannot conceive.
Wire out of it as they may, they stand, by
their action, convicted of the meanest and
most despicable ofense of which men can
be guilty.

Brandy in Warehouse Assessab,e.

The question whether or not brandy in
United States bonded warehouses is liable
to State taxation has arisen several times,
and though the tax has been paid some of
the producers have held that it was ILLEGALLY
assessed. Charles Krug, the Viticultural
Commissioner for the Napa district, on the
10Th inst, referred the question to J. II.
Wheeler, chief executive officer of the
Vihcultural Commission. Wheelerin turn
| referred it to Attorney General johnson.
The question being whether such property
owned by the taxpayer should be included
IN The statement made to the County
Assessor The Attorney General replied !:
{ am of the opinion that the statement
should include such property" Accord
ingly Mr.. Wheeler advises taxpayers to
paA the taxes on brandy in bond, unless
they desire to make test of the question
in Court

THEY BREAK FAITH AGAIN,

Last year the Mechanics Institute Fair
managers, of San Francisco, entered into
a distinct agreement with committee
from the Sacramento Board of Trade that
the Institute Fair should not again be
fixed for dates 10 conflict with the State
Agricultural Saciety's annual exposition.
The news is that the Institute managers
have fixed the dates for their fair to cover
the entire month of September and the
first week of October. This is nothing
less than aagrant breach of contract 1t
is in keeping with the whole course of the
managers, however. In the past they
have proved repeatedly narrow-minded

OF BOssIsM.

A correspondent, writing from ANA
dor county, commends and criticises the
| expressions of the RECoRD-UNIoN of the
9th instant upon "bossism" in politics
He assumes that because we desire bossism
to become wholly odious," and yet to
begin reform within party lines, we are
therefore insincere. His predicate is that
eradication of bossism means, possibly, the
death of one or both of the great political
parties. Following this up, the CORE
spondent concludes that because this Jour
nal has Republican predictions it must
cease its warfare upon bossism as soon as
the assault endangers party success. Our
correspondent has read the RECoRD-U MON
to little purpose if he has not been aware
of the fact that it has uniformly, these
many years, leveled its shafts at bossism
in whatever party it has developed. Boss
ism has no politics; the cause of the bosses
is common, and party issues do not divide
them in purpose. But it is fallacious to say
that the suppression of an evil means the
death of the party upon which it has
fastened. Party represents principles re-
lating tonational policies, to human rights,
to the progressiveness of the plan
of self-government and the maintenance
of human freedom and liberty under
law. Bossism is fungus, excrescent,
wholly unrelated to principle, and
concerns itself with party only as means
to ends not contemplated by party pur-
pose. To assume that the excelsior of boss
ism must involve party destruction is to
proceed from false premises. When con-
scientious men are for party, it is be-
cause they believe it best represents ma
tional advantage and progress, and best
conserves human rights and the welfare
Of society. Our correspondent shoots over
| the mark entirely when he assumes that
there cannot be reform within party with
out condemnation of the party. In truth
| ii can hegin nowhere else If there is or
ganization against bossism outside of the
two great parties, that becomes immedi-
ately third party and will need all its
courage and skill to prevent bosses devel-
oping within it. We reafirm that the
way to the making of bossism wholly obi
Gus is through the assertion of the moral
sense of the men in party who are not OF
the bossism of the party. Reform does
not necessarily imply violent revolution.
We believe, for instance, that bossism is
odious in the eyes of most men, and that
the bone and sinew of party abhor it; but
it is not necessary, in order to be logical,
| that they should be advised to abandon
party to the bosses.
